Okie dokes, see how horrible and crass bad words look written like this:

"kitten"?

How about we replace them with brightly colored HEARTS? Like so:

♥♥♥♥

Wouldn't that gently ease the bad word in the sentence? It'll make the reader instead of or !!

so for example:

Zachary Levi: Hi!Me: Omg I would like to kitten you plsZachary Levi: brbMe: ;_;

would change to:

Zachary Levi: Hi!Me: Omg, I would like to ♥♥♥♥ you plsZachary Levi: How nice of you to say that! Here are my pants.Me:

Just wondering of course. I think there are admin options for customizing the filter (you know, since the f-word, for instance, is written as it is). If not das cool, I just think it's a better alternative :3

As interesting an idea as that is it wouldn't really work as one, there is no option to add images to replace words. And two, as odd as it sounds it really wouldn't be 'appropriate'. Meaning that if a member is having an especially bad day, and just wants to rant and let out everything, having bright pink hearts take over where he/she wanted to write a cuss word would probably piss them off even more ^^;

Behold my skill in topic necromancy! A-hem...

I agree...

But all jokes aside, adding images to replace swear words is not only counter-productive to the loading speed of the forums (images>text) but it will also cause confusion and the other members will not know what the ffff you are saying...

IDK, having hearts all over my cuss words would make my day since I would be WTFLOLOLOLOLOL if I was mad.
